Former Mexican national team player Marco Fabian has re-signed with the Empire Strykers through the 2026-27 season, the club announced Tuesday.
Fabian joined the Strykers and the Major Arena Soccer League in the 2023-2024 season. He scored 35 goals in his initial season, receiving elite Six and Newcomer of the Year honors.
“I’m thrilled to keep writing this story with the Strykers and with our fans,” Fabian said in a statement. “From the day I first arrived, I felt the passion and the belief from everyone at this club.
“I want to help take the team where it belongs, to the top and create something special for this community and for all the amazing people who support us. I believe in the vision we’re building, and I’m ready to fight for our goals every time I step on the field.”
Fabian scored 25 goals and added 16 assists in the 2024-25 season. The Strykers finished seventh last season (12-10-2, 37 points).
“Marco’s presence, experience and winning mentality are huge for us,” coach Onua Obasi said. “In addition, he can change games with his explosiveness and with one of the hardest shots I’ve ever come across. His quality is integral on the field, but equally important is the way he connects with the locker room and our fans. Keeping Marco here shows everyone the direction we’re moving in. He’s a key piece of our future, and I can’t wait to see how far we can go together.”
